Akito glared at Kureno and asked suddenly, "Do you know what it's like to be born just to die?"

Kureno, looking bored, shook his head without answering.

"Of course you don't. No one does. But everyone acts as though they do. That's wrong. They're wrong. I was born to die and with that comes responsibility."

"Responsibility?"

"I have a responsibility to accept my destiny, my role in this curse."

"To die?"

"How'd you know?" Akito replied with a small, sick laugh.

To me, Kureno thought, you seem to just enjoy causing pain and having total control over people. Like me.
